Qualifications Currently undertaking Masters level research into trauma related dyslexia Certified Trauma and Mental in Schools Practitioner Postgraduate Diploma in Assessing for Specific Learning Differences Postgraduate Certificate in Specialist Dyslexia Teaching Postgraduate Diploma in Youth and Community Development Degree in Psychology and Sociology Certificate in Understanding the Autistic Spectrum NLP Diploma Level 3 Award in Education My background and journey Before working for myself I ran a youth work charity in Cumbria for 10 years, and also worked to empower young people to become active with volunteering in their local community. I taught Psychology at GCSE, A-level, Degree and Post Graduate levels. I have also worked within the homeless sector and within the adult education system coordinating learning support in the same role a SENDCO would have in a school. My areas of expertise are in dyslexia, trauma and mental health, confidence building, motivation and one to one work. My ability to think outside the box when engaging people means that I capture peoples imagination and show them how they can motivate themselves to be successful. My experience in the Army has also honed my self determination and efficiency. I am dyslexic, although I wasn’t assessed until I was an adult, I always suspected that I viewed the world in a slightly different way to others. I suspect I have elements of other SpLD's too which means that I have to put more effort into everyday life than most people. This means that I can truly empathise with the people I work with. My adventure with dyslexia has taught me to understand that what I have to offer is unique and valuable because of my dyslexia, not despite my dyslexia! This is what I want to teach to our everyone in our community who is also neurodiverse. I am also a mum to a very lively and humorous 10 yr boy. As a parent I understand the issues that parents have in trying to get their child's needs met, this coupled with my experience teaching and coordinating learning support which underpins my training as a dyslexia specialist and trauma and mental health practitioner means that I understand how parents and schools can work together to get the best for every child. The package I offer Each child has different needs and this is why I deliver bespoke packages to each person. I also include Dyslexia Gold in my packages and support inbetween lessons via an educational app called edmodo which parents can also have a loggin for so they can monitor all contact between me and a student. If you have any quesstions, please contact me.

My objective is to obtain employment part time teaching English or in tutoring for exam preparation. Having worked extensively with y6 pupils, I am experianced and successful at preparing students for SATS and independent schools entrance examinations. My background includes exam work with Capita, NFER and Pearson over many years in various roles eg Senior marker/ coder/ quality monitor. In March – April 2020 I completed a TEFL course online (120 hours) with modules on Grammar, methodology, teaching online/via telephone, video observation and teaching large groups. Following this I worked for two years as an English tutor online with EF Tutors. I have also worked on the National Tutoring programme (online) with groups of y5 children who needed help having had their learning interrupted by COVID. I am a specialist in languages, having studied Russian and Italian at Liverpool University and throughout my teaching career taught English and French. I attained a bachelor degree with honours level 2i. I have the ability to acquire language readily and understand grammatical structures and how they work in English as well as the other languages I have studied. In my teaching career, I was member of the SLT at a highly successful and progressive independent Junior School for 18 years prior to retirement. During this time, I was responsible for developing the programmes of study for English for a number of years and leading the staff development in this subject area. I am also highly experienced in one to one tuition and coaching for independent schools’ entrance exams over many years with success.
